Re: Petunia

It's pretty weird. I see Petunia as a potential counterculture sort of name - you can't treat it like it's on the same wavelength as Rose or Lily. Petunia has a particular energy.
I find it has the potential to be fussy, but then I find petunias to be fussy. I think it could have an interesting sort of beatnik vibe in the right setting - comboed properly, with the right siblings, in the right family. Then it would be less like Pansy and Violet and more like Clover and Cherry.
I far prefer Petula; that one is just pure beatnik, no trying required.
